How's life treating y'all?
It's been a hell of a week. Well, I was just working as usual. Now's my off so laundry and cleaning time for me. Oh and Hive too. How about you guys?
But wow let me say, for a few days, I didn't read anything about COVID-19, have we lost count or what? Is it because people stopped caring? Or is it because of the US election? Okay, I guess people can start breathing now - with a mask of course. I don't know, we humans get used to things eventually - even the bad things, unfortunately. We got used to the Corona Virus news. We got used to our jobs. We got used to not having jobs. We got used to bad people ruling over us. We get used to change when it becomes our "normal".
All good and bad things take some getting used to. First few days at my job, I was complaining a lot about how I am not used to working 8-5 like other normal beings. How I am not used to dressing up for work. How I am not used to being surrounded by a lot of people and feeling alone. How I am not used to being policed around by security guys at work. How I am not used to being governed by rules. But like I said, it all takes getting used to. And now this new life becomes my normal.
The good thing about my new normal is that I don't live through empty days anymore worrying about money and stuff. Well, at least, I can afford a comfortable life amidst this pandemic. Some people can't work right now. I mean, one should be grateful for what they have, even for the littlest of things.
I know you might cringe at what I am about to say, "this too shall pass", cliche but true. Maybe some things won't pass right away but eventually, we'll get used to it. We'll get used to it until there is another thing to get used to. We adapt and survive. That's what we do.
I remember a quote I used to like, it's like one should not get used to anything at all. But that is impossible for me as a human being. I feel. I get attached. I feel sad when I lose something or someone. It only means that I got used to something special in my life. Perhaps there's a quote like, get used to something for the time being but be prepared to let it go when it's time.
Just me and Diablo chillin'.
